Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket, As Issued. Wraps with title and author list on the front; 6 by 9 inches with the wraps slightly larger, which has caused minor shelf wear. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. In general moderate shelf handling wear. The authors publ…ished in Prose, can be described as avant-garde, experimental, and intellectually ambitious. The magazine showcased a diverse range of voices, often featuring works that pushed the boundaries of traditional storytelling and explored the intersections of modernism, postmodernism, and existential thought. Many of the writers were deeply engaged with the cultural and political upheavals of the era, grappling with themes of alienation, identity, and societal change. The contributors were often underrepresented or emerging voices in the literary world, and Prose served as a platform for innovative works that blended fragmented narrative styles, surreal imagery, and deep philosophical inquiry. These writers sought to challenge conventions and experiment with new forms of expression, making the publication an important reflection of the literary zeitgeist of the early 1970s. Significant Works from Prose Magazine Issue #3 (197172) first published in this issue. Prose issue #3 (1971, ed. Coburn Britton) featured an impressive roster of writers. Several works first appearing in this issue went on to achieve a wider literary or cultural impact whether through republication, critical discussion, or marking a pivotal moment in an author's career. +++ Kay Boyle 'Writers in Metaphysical Revolt' (Essay, 1971) In this piece, Boyle herself a celebrated expatriate modernist reflects on the 1920s avant-garde literary movement. The essay is significant as a late-career statement by Boyle about the ethos of modernist experimentation. It has been cited in later critical works for its firsthand insight into that era's artistic rebellion and serves as an important document of literary history Boyle's articulation of the Lost Generation's reaffirmed her role in that cultural revolution for contemporary readers. +++ Howard Nemerov 'Because You Asked about the Line Between Prose and Poetry' (Poem, 1971) This witty, elegant poem, ostensibly answering what divides prose from poetry later became one of Nemerov's most famous pieces. It has been widely republished and taught. +++ Harold Rosenberg Art Critique Later Collected in The De-definition of Art (1971). Rosenberg's Prose essay reached a much broader audience. It contributed to key debates of the early 1970s around modern art. It was later included in his influential 1972 book The De-definition of Art. Rosenberg's piece for Prose became part of an important critical text of the era, influencing how critics and historians discuss contemporary art and culture. +++ Glenway Wescott Late-Career Literary Memoir (1971) made a rare late-career appearance marked an important personal milestone a brief reemergence of Wescott's voice in print. It added a late chapter to Wescott's legacy, even if its impact was more archival. (Indeed, Wescott's "silence" and sporadic later output have been a subject of commentary in literary circles. Prose magazine's third issue showcased a mix of new writing by established authors, a few of which proved to have enduring significance. Kay Boyle's modernist memoir-essay and Howard Nemerov's poem both found new life in later criticism and anthologies, underlining their cultural impact. Harold Rosenberg's essay bridged little-magazine and book culture, influencing art critical discourse of the 1970s. Even contributions that didn't reverberate widely (Wescott's, Dahlberg's, Tate's, etc.) held importance as part of the authors' trajectories and the era's literary mosaic. Taken together, issue #3 can be seen as a capsule of the early-'70s literary scene one that, in a few cases, introduced works that would resonate well beyond the boutique readership of Prose.

Coburn Britton was a notable figure in 20th-century American publishing, recognized for his contributions as a poet and founder of Horizon Press in the 1960s. In 1970, he launched Prose, a literary journal that showcased both emerging and established poets, reflecting his commitment to fostering literary talent.

The magazine featured a broad range of poetry, from free verse to narrative works, all thoughtfully chosen for their literary merit. Britton's editorial choices were driven by a desire to highlight poems that were both artistically engaging and thematically meaningful. Britton was the owner of Horizon Press and this set comes from the estate of Horizon Books publisher Ben Raeburn. Ref Special Collections SIU.

H. Auden - 'G.K. Chesterton's Non-Fictional Prose' (1970. Issue 1) Auden's assessment helped elevate Chesterton's reputation by highlighting the 'idiosyncratic delight' of his nonfiction, and it also illuminated Auden's own mature views on the role of the essayist. In retrospect, Prose giving first publication to this essay is seen as historically important, bridging Edwardian letters (Chesterton) and mid-century modernism (Auden) in a single work. +++ Harold Bloom - 'Browning's 'Childe Roland': All Things Deformed and Broken' (1970, #1) Reprinted as part of Bloom's The Ringers in the Tower (Univ. of Chicago Press, 1971); widely cited in Browning studies and anthologies, it marked Bloom's emergence as a major literary critic. Anthony Burgess - -Shakespeare's Marriage' (1970, #1) first appearing in the debut 1970 issue, is a lively speculative piece examining the union of William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway and proved to be more than just a curiosity; it coincided with Burgess's own burgeoning role as a Shakespeare expert. +++ Glenway Wescott - 'Memories of the Twenties' (1972, #5) this piece in Prose was effectively a literary comeback. In 'Memories of the Twenties,' Wescott reminisces about the expatriate literary scene and cultural milieu of the 1920s - recalling figures like Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and others of the "Lost Generation" with whom he mingled. Offers an important first-person account of the 1920s literary scene, frequently referenced in studies of American expatriates; marked Wescott's brief return to print and enriched the period's cultural history. +++ James Merrill - 'Days of 1971' (1971, #2) a cycle of poems by James Merrill, one of America's preeminent poets, which first appeared in Prose was included in Merrill's 1972 collection Braving the Elements, where it became a linchpin of that book. Braving the Elements went on to win the 1973 National Book Award, and 'Days of 1971' - occupying a central place in the collection - contributed to that success.

Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket, As Issued. First Edition. A BEAUTIFUL, NEAR-FINE SPECIMEN OF POST-WAR DUBLIN TYPOGRAPHY AND GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION, MARKING THE LITERARY DEBUT OF COBURN BRITTON. This beautifully preserved copy of Coburn Britton's poetic suite represents the author's very first publi…shed book, issued as one of only 320 copies by Liam Miller's legendary Dolmen Press. Serving as a foundational example of post-war Irish book design, this slim volume single-handedly resurrected fine printing in Ireland, filling the void left by the pre-war Dun Emer and Cuala Presses. The landmark collaborative production features striking modernist woodcuts by celebrated Dublin artist Harry Kernoff alongside fluid ink washes by abstract painter Noel Sheridan. It represents a deliberate bridge between the traditional Irish book arts revival and the mid-century avant-garde, capturing a moment when independent typography matched international fine-press aesthetics. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Illustrated throughout with bold, expressionistic black-and-white woodcuts by Harry Kernoff and complementary textured ink washes by Noel Sheridan. The front wrap features an striking Kernoff woodcut printed in red. +++ Binding: Original cream-colored stiff card-stock stapled wrappers with the printed outer paper covers pasted over the spine line. +++ Content: The complete text of Britton's introspective poetry, including his focal seasonal piece, Three Christmas Bells. +++ Imprint: Dublin, Ireland: The Dolmen Press, November 1959. Limited First Edition. +++ Specs: 5.25 by 7.5 inches; unpaginated text block [2 blank, 2, 7-38, 1, 1 blank]. LIMITATION: This volume represents the complete first and only printing of this collection. As stated in the colophon on the final printed page, the edition was strictly limited to a small press run of only 320 copies printed on fine paper at the Dolmen Press, Dublin, before the type was distributed. CONDITION: Near Fine. The stapled card wrappers remain firm, square, and structurally secure, with no splitting or pulling along the pasted-over outer paper spine. The interior pages are exceptionally clean, bright, and completely free of thumbing, foxing, or owner inscriptions. The delicate cream-colored outer wrappers show only minimal, uniform shelf handling and very minor, faint smudging to the rear panel, consistent with standard storage. A collection-grade survival of a fragile, small-press pamphlet. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - The Dolmen Press is universally recognized as the savior of modern Irish fine printing. Founded by architect-turned-publisher Liam Miller, the press created a dedicated venue for Irish writers and artists when mainstream commercial publishers ignored aesthetic book arts. This 1959 printing of Cap with Bells highlights the extraordinary network of talent Miller assembled in Dublin. Coburn Britton's poetry represents the reflective, post-independence generation of Irish writers. Rather than recycling the mythic nationalism of W.B. Yeats or Lady Gregory, Britton engages with personal and spiritual themes, using standard liturgical structures like Christmas bells as a framework for lyrical introspection. The visual execution brings the text into the realm of high graphic art. Harry Kernoff, a legendary figure in Irish modernism and a mainstay of the Irish-Jewish artistic community, provides the heavy, structural woodcuts that balance the fluid, abstract washes of a young Noel Sheridan. This convergence of fine poetry, masterful illustration, and meticulous typographic layout makes the volume a critical primary document for studying the mid-century cultural landscape of Dublin. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ The Dolmen Press Impact: Illustrates the early, defining design philosophy of Liam Miller, who founded the press in 1951 to rescue Irish book production from aesthetic stagnation by pairing fine typography with local artists. +++ Artistic Modernism: Features the graphic work of Harry Kernoff (1900-1974), a pivotal figure in 20th-century Irish art who famously.
